Executive Summary
Between 15 December 2014 and 9 February 2015, Transport for London (TfL)
consulted on proposals for the junction of Great Dover Street and Globe Street. We
received 45 responses to the consultation, of which 80% supported or partially
supported our proposals.
Having considered responses to consultation, we intend to proceed with the scheme.
However, we have made some changes to the design on Globe Street following
discussion with the London Borough of Southwark, which is delivering the Quietway
along the remainder of Globe Street.
Apart from the changes on Globe Street, the rest of the TfL scheme will be delivered
in line with the plans we consulted on. Construction is planned to begin in early May
2015 and is expected to take about six weeks. We will co-ordinate our works with
those currently being undertaken at the junction by the London Borough of
Southwark. We will also write to local residents and businesses with details of the
planned works.
This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of this consultation,
as well as TfL’s responses to issues commonly raised.

1 Background
1.1 About Quietways
The Quietways form a key part of the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling; a 10 year plan to
deliver cycling improvements across the Capital. By 2022, £913m will be invested
in cycling and we envisage over £123m to be allocated to this programme.
The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well-signed cycle
routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to
overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a
more relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as
the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways.
Transport for London is working in partnership with the London boroughs and
managing authorities to deliver seven Quietways routes by late spring 2016. The
seven pilot routes, boroughs and partners, are:
 Q1 Waterloo to Greenwich (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark, LB Lewisham,
LB Greenwich)
 Q2 Bloomsbury to Walthamstow (phase 1 - Bloomsbury to Mare Street) (LB
Camden, LB Islington, LB Hackney, LB Waltham Forest, Lea Valley Regional
Park)
 Regents Park to Gladstone Park (Dollis Hill) (City of Westminster, LB
Camden,
LB Brent)
 Elephant & Castle to Crystal Palace (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark)
 Aldgate to Hainault (phase 1 – Mile End to Barkingside) (LB Tower Hamlets,
LB Hackney, LB Newham, LB Redbridge, and the London Legacy
Development Corporation)
 Waterloo to Croydon (via Clapham Common) (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth,
LB Croydon)
 Clapham Common to Wimbledon (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth, LB Merton)
Design on the first two pilot routes is well underway. It is expected that they will be
delivered by summer 2015. The remaining five routes are expected to be delivered
by late spring 2016.
1.2 About this report – Great Dover Street to Globe Street
There are junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) along the
pilot routes and for these it is the responsibility of TfL to consult with stakeholders
and the public. Modifications at these junctions range from providing Advanced Stop
Lines (ASLs) and carriageway markings to more complex reworkings of the junction
layout.
The Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction is on the proposed Waterloo to
Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective
sections of the route.

2 Introduction
2.1 Purpose of the Scheme
As part of the Quietways programme, TfL is developing proposals to enhance
facilities for cyclists and pedestrians. During December to early February 2015
we invited the public and key stakeholders to comment on its proposals for the
TLRN junction of Great Dover Street and Globe Street.
2.2 Descriptions of the proposals
1. Enlarged and reshaped traffic islands to ease access for cyclists turning
right from Great Dover Street into Pilgrimage Street and Globe Street
2. Removal of the cycle lead-in lane* on Pilgrimage Street. This will reduce
conflict between vehicles and cyclists approaching the Advanced Stop Line
(ASL), because vehicles turn left but most cyclists travel straight ahead (not
shown on the plan)
3. Pedestrian crossing widths at the junction widened to 3.2 metres to
improve pedestrian facilities, particularly for those with impaired mobility
4. ASLs enlarged to five metres and relocated closer to signals, to provide
more space for cyclists to wait at a red traffic signal ahead of other traffic
and maximise green signal time
5. Provision of additional space for cycle parking on enlarged footway buildouts
* This will be allowed in the revised Traffic Signs Regulations and General
Directions (2015) to be published in March 2015.
NOTE: The numbers against the descriptions of the proposals relate to the
details on the junction design.

5 Analysis of consultation comments
5.1 Comments from the Great Dover Street/Globe Street TLRN junction
Of the 45 respondents who replied to the consultation, 36 (80% of the total)
provided comments. The issues most commonly raised are outlined below.
a) General positive comments: 14 respondents (31%) welcomed the
junction improvements, comments included:








These proposals look very sensible, if minor alterations
The changes are good and as a cyclist I support the Quietways
The changes should help cyclists crossing and also allow room for
pedestrians with prams
I'd just like to say that I am in every way happy with the proposal
and hope it goes ahead
This cycle link between Greenwich and Waterloo is really needed
because the road network is a maze and really intimidating for
cyclists
Regularly cycle from New Cross to central London via Waterloo
using these back roads - any improvements would be most
welcomed
Wonderful plan
These changes will help to enhance the cycling experience
through Southwark
London TravelWatch: Said this is fine. The proposal would be improved if the
median strip were to be permeable to pedestrians or the pavement simply
widened.
Southwark Living Streets: Supports proposal.
John Lewis Partnership: Said they fully support schemes that help to make
cycling in London safer.
Cyclist Touring Club (CTC) London: Said that changes, at this junction,
appear to be beneficial to cyclists.
Sustrans: Generally supportive of enhancing the space for cyclist
improvements. This includes the removal of the lead-in lane to discourage
cyclists from being too far to the left. This should reduce the likelihood of left
hooks by vehicles.
b) Advance Stop Line (ASL): 4 respondents (9%) expressed concern that
ASLs did not work well without cyclists signal lights, and were pointless
without being enforced as vehicles ignored them. One respondent
requested segregated feeder lanes and another for them to be extended
further along Great Dover Street.
Sustrans: Said that they were supportive of wider pedestrian crossings and
wider ASLs.

c) Signage: 4 respondents (9%) were concerned about the lack of cycle
specific signage at the junction of Great Dover Street and Pilgrimage
Street; they also requested that the central reservation was removed and
add right turn arrows instead.
Sustrans: The existing traffic island gaps are too narrow to cater for the
expected levels of cyclists on the Quietway. However the proposals for
redesigned traffic islands show only a slightly wider access for cyclists.
Without dimensions it is difficult to tell, but would recommend gaps in the
traffic islands of at least 1.5m.
d) Safety concerns: 4 respondents (9%) were mixed about safety concerns
at the junction. One resident on Cole Street observed cyclists were too
fast, whereas on Pilgrimage Street one resident said they had never
experienced any problems and therefore the changes were not required.
e) Cost issues: 4 respondents (9%) suggested that there was little design
improvement, with the junction provisions being fairly good already, and
therefore changes would be a waste of money.
Suggestions re Globe Street cycle provision: One respondent suggested
that the central island is relocated next to the footway and the bi-directional
cycle track separated by white lines and bollards.
London TravelWatch: requested that the central island is accessible to
pedestrians
Sustrans: Whilst we are supportive of the provision of cycle parking along
the Quietway route, other locations in the vicinity should be explored. The
proposed position of the cycle parking is bizarre and causes a pinch point for
cyclists. Globe Street is fairly quiet and as a result isn’t a particularly secure
location for cycle parking. Cycle parking on the wide footway of Great Dover
Street would be preferable.
Comments aimed at Southwark Council
One local resident responded that they had reviewed Southwark's plans for
Tabard Street: this street is very quiet (their flat overlooks it) and is basically
only used for parking. They observed that humps might deter cyclists from
using this route, so they should not be put in. Humps were to be avoided and
instead slalom courses (trees and parking varying from side to side), oneways and streets which are closed off for cars, but open for cyclists (and
where the cycle route direction has priority), should be used.

(CTC) London
The respondent does not have any issues with this
junction.
Central London Quietways improved cycle routes in the
form of a Central London Grid of Quietways would be
beneficial. The Quietways appear to be mainly existing
LCN and LCN+ routes. It would be clearer if new routes
were marked differently, and existing sections to be
upgraded identified. Great Dover Street junction with
Globe Street, the changes appear to be beneficial to
cyclists.
John Lewis Partnership Said that the John Lewis Partnership fully supports
schemes that help to make cycling in London safer. As
part of the proposal, care must be taken to ensure that
kerbside loading is accommodated as practically and as
safely as possible, and without compromise to other
road users.
The proposals have very little impact on the London Fire
London Fire and
Brigade. However, the respondent welcomes any
Emergency Planning
proposal to improve road safety and during the
Authority
construction phase, would like to ensure continued
liaison with managers at local fire stations to enable pre
planning to minimise any possible disruption to
appliances attending incidents.

Finally, there is no mention of signal timings which
should be improved to reduce the wait for cyclists.

6 Conclusion
Overall, 80% of consultation respondents said they supported or partially
supported TfL’s proposals for the Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction.
Having considered responses to consultation, we intend to proceed with the
scheme. However, following further discussion with the London Borough of
Southwark – the Highway Authority responsible for Globe Street – we have
made changes to the planned design here. The central low-level planted island
(shown in point 5 of the TfL consultation drawing) will now be extended further
towards Cole Street, but will stop before the vehicular exit from the rear of Shere
House. Therefore the new footway and cycle parking on the north-west side of
Globe Street will not be built. These changes will better-complement the
Council’s plans for the Quietway on Globe Street.
Apart from the changes on Globe Street, the rest of the TfL scheme will be
delivered in line with the plans we consulted on. Construction is planned to begin
in early May 2015 and is expected to take about six weeks. We will co-ordinate
our works with those currently being undertaken at the junction by the London
Borough of Southwark and will write to local residents and businesses with
details of the planned works.
Please see Appendix A for TfL’s Response to issues commonly raised in
consultation.
Quietways Q1 | Great Dover Street and Globe Street TLRN Junction

Appendix A – Response to issues raised
a) Negative comments about Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs)
The changes include increasing the length of the existing ASLs to five metres, which
will increase the space available for cyclists. TfL and the Metropolitan Police
continue to encourage considerate and compliant behaviour by all road users
through a number of education and enforcement campaigns.
We consider that ASL feeder lanes on Great Dover Street are appropriate for the
road conditions and expected cycle usage. Further extension would be outside the
scope of this scheme, which is primarily intended to improve conditions for cyclists
on the Quietway alignment.
b) Concern of the lack of signage for cyclists
The consultation drawing did not indicate provision of signing for cyclists. This is
being undertaken as a separate exercise on the whole length of the Quietway.
The existing islands forming the central reservation offer cyclists physical protection
from passing vehicles and also prevent vehicles from making prohibited
manoeuvres. They are being retained, but will be enlarged and reshaped to ease
right turn manoeuvres for cyclists.
c) Safety and cost concerns
The latest 36 months collision data indicates that there has been one reported
collision at the junction resulting in personal injury. The collision did not involve a
cyclist.
We consider that the planned scheme provides an appropriate and proportionate
improvement in facilities for cyclists and pedestrians at the junction. It has been
designed to assist and accommodate the anticipated increase in cycling associated
with this Quietway.
d) Globe Street
As outlined in Section 5, we have made changes to the design set out for
consultation in order to better-complement the London Borough of Southwark’s
plans for the Quietway on Globe Street.

Dear Resident,
Have your say – proposed changes to the Great Dover Street junction with Globe
Street
As part of the Quietways programme, Transport for London (TfL) is developing
proposals to enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians without adversely affecting
other road users. We would like to know your views on the proposed changes to the
junction at Great Dover Street and Globe Street.
The Quietways programme will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well
signed cycle routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are
designed to overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those
who prefer a more relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives,
such as the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways.
The Great Dover Street and Globe Street junction is on the proposed Waterloo to
Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective
section of the route.
We are committed to make it easier and safer to cycle in London, and the proposals for
this junction include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Enlarged and reshaped traffic islands to ease access for cyclists turning right from
Great Dover Street into Pilgrimage Street and Globe Street
Removal of the cycle lead-in lane* on Pilgrimage Street. This will reduce conflict
between vehicles and cyclists approaching the Advanced Stop Line (ASL),
because vehicles turn left but most cyclists travel straight ahead (not shown on the
plan)
Pedestrian crossing widths at the junction widened to 3.2 metres to improve
pedestrian facilities particularly for the mobility impaired
ASL’s enlarged to five metres and relocated closer to signals, to provide more
space for cyclists to wait at a red traffic signal ahead of other traffic and maximise
green signal time
Provision of additional space for cycle parking on enlarged footway build-outs
* This will be allowed in the revised Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (2015) to
be published in March 2015.

Appendix E – Email sent to stakeholders
This email was sent to the stakeholder database on 15 December 2014.
Dear Stakeholder,
I am writing to let you know that Transport for London (TfL) has launched three consultations
proposing changes to junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN). These
junctions are on the first two pilot routes of the Quietways (tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways) and we
would like to know what you think about the proposals.
The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well signed cycle routes
predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome barriers to
cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed journey.
Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London Cycling Grid
and Cycle Superhighways.
The three junctions under consultation are:



Stamford Street and Cornwall Road – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway
Great Dover Street and Globe Street – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway
City Road / Colebrooke Row and Goswell Road / Owen Street – on the Bloomsbury
to Walthamstow Quietway
The proposed modified junctions reflect the emerging improvements in cycling infrastructure
design standards including to:







Improve safety for cyclists
Increase the number of cyclists and cycle journeys
Reduce journey times for cyclists
Use some innovative design features recognised as best practice
Reduce traffic speeds
Improve the environment for local residents and businesses
Not to disbenefit other road users
We are consulting on the introduction of the following measures and safety features, which are
similar to those likely to be proposed for further Quietways junctions on the TLRN:




Increased pedestrian crossing widths
New Advanced Stop Lines (ASL)
Increased ASL space at some junctions
New Pedestrian Countdown Indicators informing pedestrians how long they have to
cross the road. These are being installed as part of TfL’s programme to improve
pedestrian convenience
The three consultations that have been launched today are the first along the initial two pilot
routes. As the next five pilot routes are announced, we will consult on more Quietways
junctions on the TLRN. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective section of
the route.

We have also announced that Sustrans has been awarded the contract to support the rollout of
the Quietways network across London. To learn more about the first seven pilot routes and the
contract award please visit tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways.
The Quietways form a key part of the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling; a 10 year plan to deliver
cycling improvements across the Capital. By 2022, £913m will be invested in cycling and we
envisage over £123m to be allocated to the Quietways programme.
We hope this is useful and look forward to your response to the consultations. We will keep you
informed throughout the programme.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Bradley
